Eli5: How do different Radio Frequencies not alter the way music sounds?

739 views

How can there be different fequencies (it’s a difference in wave-lengths right?) but the tone of the music doesn’t seem altered by it.

Radio waves are light waves that go from the radio tower to your radio. Sound waves are what come out of your radio to your ears. They have very different speeds so the frequency of the light waves doesn’t affect the frequency of sound waves

You pick a different carrier frequency and then modulate it with the audio signal. You don’t change frequencies after modulation has been done.
